    Cassell would be a dream hire

    Do people remember the very first offensive possession of this game where Harden ran a curl off ball and got an easy mid range jumper?

    Why can't this offense do more of that?

    Every 4th quarter is the same.

    Everybody stands around while Harden ball hogs and jacks up contested 3’s that brick while the other team goes on an easy run while MDA sits back and does nothing. No offensive game plan. No defensive game plan. Just the same predictable stuff and the same predictable outcomes.

    It’s tiresome. I’m numb to it. It happens every single tight game.

    I am on the bandwagon
    I think we lost him when he did not get his contract
    he is already looking toward his vacation.

    DanAndToni comes off a bit vindictive. . . i think the Melo case shows a little of that
    so . . .I think this season is looking like it. .

    Where does he go next year. ...
    What Team will he be coaching?

    There no coach that can do a better job with this lineup

    you are all quick to blame D’Antoni, but our lineup sucks, what can he possibly do ? Play harrenstein at the 4? Yeha that will solve all of our problems...

    we are made for the 3 point shot... except we don’t have any great 3 point shooters like klay, reddick, or korver.

    our 3 and D guy is house ?

    Replace everyone outside of harden and Westbrook with G leaguers and we will still have a similar record

    Morey is the one who needs to be fired, he’s constructed a horrible lineup and given up all of our future assets for nothing

    I couldn't agree more, that is not championship basketball and we know it. We keep hoping that Russell can take the ball out of James hands, however, he's even worse turnover machine and doesn't make great decisions with the basketball. If James spent half the energy on defense that he does dribbling between his legs and hoisting up 3s we would be a top team. His defensive effort last night was atrocious...

    Love the Rockets but not our stars!

    MDA does not coach discipline. He loses leads all the time and is absolutely horrible with timeouts.

    Every coach loses big leads all the time. Including Popovich. This is due to the statistical volatility of the 3 ball. It's math not coaches.

    Dantoni has the easiest head coaching job in the league.

    Don't need to host practices

    Don't need to coach offense or defense

    Don't need to make any in-game adjustments

    Just sit on a chair every game and stand up every now and then to cross your arms.

    We need a young fiery hot head coach that will hold people accountable instead of Dantoni's passive aggressive speeches.

    Yeah..I think it is time.

    He is half-assing it and his body language is carrying over to the team.

    Could never coach defense. Now cant even coach offense.

    And dont even ask me about his in game micro management and decisions on the fly because they dont even exist.

    He is not the only problem with this team but he is definitely a problem.

    Fire him. Just get it over with so we can move on the next scape goat. Tilman must be loving this.

    We lost against Paul, we lost against Anthony, what is next?
    I don't remember another Rockets team with less heart and less pride than this. Of course, it is the result of what Harden is as a leader.

    You
    Are absolutely right when it comes to shooting, but better plays can be run., better transition defense can be played. MDA does not coach discipline in these areas, boxing out for rebounds. Lack of discipline in these areas results in loses against good teams and teams Houston doesn't take seriously.

    Many people in this site blamed Tilman for not renewing this coach contract, they are still complaining now.
